Where am I? and Shellstates.

Hello loyal feed followers… things have been awfully quiet here of late, and for that I apologize.

I’ve been knee deep in a ton of projects, all of them quite challenging. I’m quite excited and think that the end results will be worth the blood, sweat and brain cells that have been poured into them, but in the meantime it means I’ve had very little time to perform even the most basic upkeep here at the blog. I have a number of things that really need doing around here, and I’m giving serious consideration to moving off of Wordpress to a fresh install of Drupal, which (again) requires some bit of time investment to accomplish properly.

So, with all of this in mind, I’d like to direct your attention to the netlabel Pelican Dump, run by former Nophi proprietor Randy Garcia (RIP, Nophi). I’ve been promising him some material for release for what must be over a year now, and I’ve finally come through for him. Entitled Shellstates, it is a 41-minute collection of somewhat lowfi abstract ambient/noise improvisations. Thanks to Randy for giving these orphaned tracks a home as well as for providing artwork for the release. It’s totally free as in speech, and can be downloaded from the Pelican Dump website. To give you a taste, here’s a short “sampler” style podcast, but again: the release is free - what are you waiting for? I hope you enjoy it!

Now, I’m off to the Lisp50 event at OOPSLA. I have a feeling my brain will hurt by the time it’s done.

(Speaking of things that I need to do around here, apparently Podpress’ built-in inline media player isn’t working. To listen to the podcast, either download using the link below, or play in the pop-up media player.)

Tibetan(delayedre)action

Well, the distributors swapped tibetanaction with the next release on the schedule, so the new single has been pushed back to August 5. Now, the upshot of this is that I’ve got a bit more advance promo time. To make it fun, I’m going to hit various services with the promo announcement, starting with Twitter. If you’re a Twitter user, follow logickal (if you don’t already) and message me that you want some pre-release goodness. In a day or so, I’ll announce another social network you can catch me on and snag a URL and a password. So, I’ll see you around the interwebs and we’ll have a blast, ok? Ok!

Updated: Ooops, I forgot to mention - I’m only going to give out 4 copies per social network. Just for fun, the first two people to email me with the subject line “Free Tibet” will get a link. Sound good? Let’s go!

Update July 23: Okay, four links have been sent to Twitterfolk - that actually went quicker than I expected! Which social network gets next?

45Tribute

Everyone should RUN, not walk, to 45tribute.com and donate $5 in memory of Elektron co-founder Daniel Hansson. Your $5 goes to the World Wildlife Fund, and in return you get 30 tracks (with an additional 31 tracks available for free) from a seriously incredibly group of artists. It’s good music for a good cause, so what are you waiting for?
